Margot Robbie Hid Her Nude Scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio from Her Parents

Even though Margot Robbie was thrilled to score a leading role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street as her second-ever American film, the 23-year-old Australian beauty found herself “blatantly lying” about the project to her parents “for a really long time.” Understandably so—the actress, who starred on NBC’s short-lived retro series Pan Am, spends a good amount of screen time nude or partially clothed as Leonardo DiCaprio’s sexy second onscreen wife.

“First, I didn’t even mention the nudity,” Robbie told us earlier this week about her initial conversations with her parents. “Then I admitted to the nudity, but said that there would be a body double and said that they would C.G.I. my head onto the body.” Eventually, Robbie said she “started being a bit more honest, saying, ‘O.K., maybe I’m doing a bit of the nudity. And none of you can see it!”

We can see where the former Aussie soap star might be embarrassed—as DiCaprio’s onscreen wife Naomi, Robbie uses her sexuality to keep her high-rolling, ethics-abhorring stock-swindler husband in check whenever possible. Robbie also told us how inspirational the real Naomi (whose actual name is Nadine) was, and revealed the one weird thing she learned about Leonardo DiCaprio after spending so much intimate time with the Hollywood leading man.
